Mary P. Dinmore "Polly" passed away at the Gosnell Memorial Hospice House in Scarborough, Maine, on Sunday, April 21, 2013. She was surrounded by her loving family.

Born on March 21, 1930 in Albany, N.Y. to Harry C. and Mary A. Dinmore; she attended Lowell, Mass. Schools, graduated from Brown University in 1951, and received her Master’s Degree in Education from the University of Illinois in 1962.

She lived in Hamden, Conn. most of her adult life, working as a school counselor and later on as a school psychologist for the Cheshire, Conn. school district until her retirement. She moved to The Huntington, a retirement center in Nashua, N.H. where she had a wonderful family of friends.

The family is grateful for the compassionate care that the staff at the Gosnell Memorial Hospice House provided for Polly.

Polly's thirst for knowledge along with her enthusiasm, encouragement and support inspired two generations of nieces and nephews to continue their educations and earn college degrees.

Every summer, Polly would rent a beach house in Maine and welcome family members from near and far with open arms, creating wonderful memories for all.

Services will be held on Saturday, April 27, 2013 at 11 a.m. at the Church of the Good Shepherd, 214 Main St., Nashua, N.H. Burial will be in the Lowell Cemetery where there will be a private, family service.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made in Polly’s name to the Gosnell Memorial Hospice House, 11 Hunnewell Rd., Scarborough, ME 04074.
